Brilliant, thank you for sharing this. I'm going to fix two mounts for 18v Dewalt batteries (as I already have them) to the frame, and connect them in series to an M12-4P-Female chassis mounted socket.
Awesome idea. Inspired by you I did the same for Parkside batteries I have laying around, also designed and printed a control box that allows me to switch between standard infento battery and the dual-parkside one on the go - that way I can switch to the infento battery if parksides run out of juice.
Now that's a really cool idea, this switch between batteries. Maybe one piece of advice: upon doing the same for Bosch batteries, I noticed to my surprise that the Bosch batteries don't have a low voltage protection installed. This element is inside the Bosch appliance. Please verify your Parkside batteries if they do the shutdown by themselves. 12,5V per battery equals 2.5V per cell, and this is the absolute minimum before cell destruction. 16V would be recommended.
@@modularmobility2276 You are absolutely right, I'm using Parkside Smart batteries that have low voltage cutoff in the software (i can connect to it via bluetooth), but upon closer investigation the power tool is the one that does the cutoff, the battery itself just signals the tool via a data pin, which is quite dissapointing. Thanks for pointing that out, I'll have to add a protection module
@@josipstuhli43 Thank you also for your precious feedback about Parkside. If you find a handy and affordable cutoff module, would you mind sharing me the Info. I find tons if cheap BMS on Ali, but these only work with access to each cell...which we don't have on battery drill packs.
@@anzgar I can upload, but I doubt it will do you much good as it is specific to my setup and the components I've used. You would have to buy the exact same switches and volmeter as me for it to make sense. You can do it without 3d print with a simple 3-way rocker (what ever your hardware store has). And if you want enclose it in a simple 3d printed box.
